Meeting in
Artsakh
|
Within the
framework of ICT as a Tool for Young Voices program we have planned to organize
“Formation of active citizens in the communities of Armenia and Artsakh”
training course in the communities of Armenia and Artsakh.
The aim is to contribute the formation of young people
as autonomous, active citizens in 4 communities of Armenia and NagornoKarabakh
(Vanadzor, Martuni, Shushi and Stepanakert). We plan to carry out 4 days
training course in each region and community.
We have chosen those regions
and communities as we have experience of working with young people from remote
regions and we can say that such kind of socio-educational programsare not
implemented in remote regions. 20 young people shall participate in the
training course from each community.
Young people of
those remote communities have been selected, as they are more vulnerable to
challenges and changes in society compared with young people from cities, have
low level of self confidence, self valuation and tolerance, problems of being
socially and positively adapted,interpersonal communication skills shortages,
difficulties to cooperate and work in a team, difficulties on certain important
issues such as human rights, violence, trafficking, lack of skills to solve
conflicts peacefully.
Young people need reliable and non formal
environment where they can express themselves, and express their opinion, work
in a team.
In addition to this we can say that they are
unaware of non-formal methods acquiring through knowledge, skills and
abilities, which will make the course more interesting and interactive. We are
sure that through this course young people will gain confidence, learn and
deepen their knowledge, skills and abilities to become more autonomous and
active in their lives and communities.
